𝙄 𝙁𝙄𝙉𝘼𝙇𝙇𝙔 𝙂𝙊𝙏 𝘼𝙉 𝘼𝙉𝙎𝙒𝙀𝙍💃🎉🎉!! In my journey as an early career researcher, I've often pondered a significant question: 𝙬𝙝𝙮 𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚 𝙨𝙤 𝙛𝙚𝙬 𝙞𝙣𝙫𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙨 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙞𝙣𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙨 𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙥𝙖𝙧𝙚𝙙 𝙩𝙤 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙫𝙖𝙨𝙩 𝙖𝙢𝙤𝙪𝙣𝙩 𝙤𝙛 𝙨𝙘𝙞𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙞𝙛𝙞𝙘 𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙘𝙝 𝙘𝙤𝙣𝙙𝙪𝙘𝙩𝙚𝙙 𝙬𝙤𝙧𝙡𝙙𝙬𝙞𝙙𝙚? I'm grateful for the seminar hosted by the Biomedical Training #Cancer Research Institute at #NIMR, where Hesham Gaafar spoke on "Translating Technical Findings into Commercial Opportunities." His insights were enlightening, especially for early career researchers like myself. Hesham Gaafar emphasized that "research shouldn't just end in academic journals; it can be translated into products." Here are some key takeaways from the seminar: 1. 𝗩𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗲 𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘁: Research should not only focus on developing interesting projects but also ensure that it is valuable. Ultimately, users will only purchase what is valuable to them, not what is merely interesting to the researcher. 2. 𝗘𝗺𝗯𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝗥𝗶𝘀𝗸: Researchers should take risks and explore new avenues, rather than just working on existing research. This approach can lead to greater value and innovative solutions. 3. 𝗨𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗕𝗮𝘀𝗶𝗰𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗕𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀: To successfully build and market their products, researchers must learn the fundamentals of an effective business model, understand their target audience, and embrace collaboration with stakeholders in both the research and business worlds. I am thankful for the great platform #NIMR provides to early career researchers, equipping us to invent, innovate, and transform the healthcare sector. I'm genuinely curious: would you purchase Nigerian-made health products over foreign products? Let me know your thoughts in the comments! #Research #Science #Nigeria #Contentwtiing #Product
